the colors of these purple aventurine beads remind us of the American Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana), a plant native to the warmer areas of the southeast.
Historically, the beautyberry was used medicinally by Native Americans 🌿
And the fruit is an important food source to wildlife, including over 40 species of songbirds! If you live in a warmer climate, please consider planting natives like the Beautyberry ~ the birds + other wildlife will appreciate it + you will love having this addition to the landscape 💜
